Ukraine begins striking Russia with US weapons as northern front ‘stabilised’

Matthew Savill, military sciences director at the Royal United Services Institute think-tank, said the freedom to strike Russian targets with US weapons in Belgorod is valuable but far more support is required to turn the tide of the war. “Removing restrictions on Himars and other multiple launch rocket systems, as well as Ukrainian artillery firing Western-supplied ammunition, would allow Ukraine to strike massing Russian forces and conduct counter-battery fire against artillery situated just over the border,” he said.
